Many youths begin dating in the first stages of adolesce
36、nce, go steady through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. In some quarters, there is much shaking of graying locks and clucking of middle-aged tongues over the ways of wayward youth. However, emotional maturity is no respecter of birthdays; it does not arrive au
37、tomatically at twenty-one or twenty five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even in three-score years and ten. Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home life, but also from their own personal problems of isolation and loneliness. And it can
38、almost be put down as a dictum that any marriage entered into as an escape cannot prove entirely successful. The sad fact is that marriage seldom solves ones problems; more often, it merely accentuates them. Furthermore, it is doubtful whether the home as an institution is capable of carrying all th
39、at the young are seeking to put into it; one might say in theological terms, that they are forsaking one idol only to worship another. Young people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that success is the ultimate good, but they erroneously believe that they themselves have
40、 found the true center of lifes meaning. Their expectations of marriage are essentially utopian and therefore incapable of fulfillment. They want too much, and tragic disillusionment is often bound to follow. Shall we, then join, the chorus of Miseries over early marriages? One cannot generalize: al
41、l early marriages are not bad any more that all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by chronology, but by the emotional maturity of the partners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own merits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relat
42、ively few illusions or false expectations, and if it is economically feasible, why not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so can bad ones. （分数：1.00）(1).According to this passage, the trend toward early marriages_.（分数：0.20）A.can be clearly seenB.is the result of the Great Depressi
43、on of the 30 sC.cant be easily determinedD.is an outgrowth of the moral looseness brought about by World War II(2).The writer suggests that many of todays early marriages result from_.（分数：0.20）A.the lack of formal educationB.idol shiftC.escapismD.chronology(3).More often than not, early marriage wil
44、l often_.（分数：0.20）A.ease ones problemsB.intensify ones problemsC.not affect ones problemsD.solve ones problems(4).Which of the following statement is not true?（分数：0.20）A.An early marriage should be economically feasible.B.Not all early marriages are bad.C.Bad marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty.D.Satisfactory marriages are bad.(5).Younger people s expectations of marriage can be described as_.（分数：0.20）A.utopianB.rea
